"I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12

WAKE UP AMERICA"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it."

Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 4, September 11, 1777"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President."A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, [79 years now in 2012] freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought into force by statutes of national emergency."

How is it socialist to subsidize American energy companies so China doesnt own the solar industry? You want to just give up and let China have it? Funny, I never hear you repubs complaining about subsidies for Big Oil, and they don't need the money. You hate Obama so much you're rooting against the economy.

And to say that Romney's vulture capitalist firm has "generated billions" is horseshit. Their business model was to seize and bleed out healthy American companies. Thousands of people would not have lost their jobs if Romney hadn't brought Bain into existence by means of a big loan he got from the govt.

By making debt the centerpiece of his campaign, Romney was making a calculated bluff of historic dimensions – placing a massive all-in bet on the rank incompetence of the American press corps. The result has been a brilliant comedy: A man makes a $250 million fortune loading up companies with debt and then extracting million-dollar fees from those same companies, in exchange for the generous service of telling them who needs to be fired in order to finance the debt payments he saddled them with in the first place. That same man then runs for president riding an image of children roasting on flames of debt, choosing as his running mate perhaps the only politician in America more pompous and self-righteous on the subject of the evils of borrowed money than the candidate himself. If Romney pulls off this whopper, you'll have to tip your hat to him: No one in history has ever successfully run for president riding this big of a lie. It's almost enough to make you think he really is qualified for the White House.

If you don't understand WHY by now, then you are too stupid, or too intellectually dishonest, to understand any explanation, since it won't come in an easily shoutable 1-3 word phrase like "HOPE!", or "YES, WE CAN!!"....

It's dead and gone because Mitt Romney sank in his claws and sucked the blood out of it.

Bain added $300 million in debt to the firm's bottom line while taking out more than $120 million in cash – an outright looting that creditors later described in a lawsuit as "breaking open the piggy bank."

WHILE YOU ARE THROWING PEOPLE ON THE STREET WITH NO PENSION OR HEALTH COVERAGE!

Let's see....70% of Government Motors labor outsourced overseas. And the money he gave GM for a new plant - spent to build the plan overseas. Just one example. So, the numbers of would-be American employees "on the street with no pension or health coverage" equal how many unemployed thanks to dear leader? Oh, and how many of his failed business ventures on our money also saw more employees unemployed? Cough up those numbers, dude.

That's another thing.There would no longer BE an American car industry if we had listened to Romney. "Let Detroit Go Bust," he said. And then he had the nerve to claim that Obama followed HIS advice exactly? Wtf??
